Damage to an opponent is limited by the Character Class AND Weapon, so for example: an elf has a maximum damage capability of 6, so although he could use a sword the max would still be 6. However if he only used a dagger then the max would be 4. Movement (1 turn ~ 60 Combat Rounds - normally combat will be resolved well before this limit)

So for example: a Fighter with Plate Mail, Shield, Sword and other Equipment will have a carry weight of 740, so he can move normally at 60' (i.e. 6 squares) per turn. If however he picks up more than 80 Gold Pieces then he will be slowed down to 30' per turn, and with all that clanking around he would not be able to hide.
